Alex, Randy, and Zac talk about the minimum standard for age and drivability on Turo (see also: can Alex list his Cord there?); when a Frontier is a Tacoma; the brief cultural moments (and distinctive BaT model page charts) spawned by the Cybertruck, Bronco, and Hummer EV; the best hometown spots to jump cars; other high school hijinks; an utterly believable prediction about how and when Randy will finally acquire that ’32 Ford he’s always wanted; Alex’s recent run of bad old car luck; (related) saving a marriage with a hybrid NSX; and the injustice of naming the new Waymo van “Ojai.”
They move on to some of their favorite recent BaT sale and no-sale results, with pauses to talk about BaT usernames at the dinner table, the relative merits of special New Beetles, a Singer mystery, reliving past lives through cars, and a great idea for a new website feature.
